Our Green

Elearning is arguably the greenest way to train your team, and we take our own green pretty seriously. Here are a few of the things we do:

• We deliver our working files and course deliverables electronically whenever possible.  When we do have to send physical files, we provide reusable thumb drives instead of hard-to-recycle CDs.
• We avoid printing whenever possible. If we do print, we print double-sided.  Our office paper and our business cards are 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper.
• We recycle paper, plastics, glass, cardboard, and metal.  We also encourage employees to bring in items from home that are difficult to recycle – from electronics to greeting cards -- and we recycle them as a team.
• We compost our coffee grounds and veggie scraps.
• We use real mugs, plates, and silverware – no disposables.
• We recycle our printer cartridges by sending them back to the manufacturer.
• We use Energy Star™ computer equipment and appliances.
• We offset our office, commute, and business travel carbon emissions through TerraPass.
• We’ve been recognized for our recycling and waste-reduction efforts by the Washtenaw County (MI) Waste Knot Program.

It’s so much more than “being green” for us. It’s a matter of stewardship. “Stewardship” is an old and somewhat stodgy word, but it’s a deeply meaningful concept that has to do with taking care of the gift you’ve been given, and leaving things better for the next generation. In addition to our green office practices, for two years running, we’ve donated 1% of sales to a variety of global and local charities. This year we’ll add to that financial commitment with a commitment of our time.
